La Masardona

The story

In 1945 Anna Manfredi, nicknamed 'a Masardona', began frying pizzas outside her front door on Via Capaccio to make ends meet. Today the Piccirillo family runs it, the fourth generation, and many Neapolitans call it the home of pizza fritta. The pizzas come out of the oil puffed and golden. Order a classic one stuffed with ricotta, ciccioli, provola and tomato, or the 'battilocchio', a long fried dough you top as you like.
